Star Wars

The 'Star Wars' film series is made up of two separate trilogies and has spawned an Expanded Universe that includes TV shows ('Star Wars Rebels'), video games, books and comics. The franchise launched in May 25, 1977 when 'Star Wars', written and directed by George Lucas, was first released in theaters. It was followed by 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi' closing out the original franchise. Sixteen years after the last of those films hit theaters, a new prequel trilogy began with the release of 'Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace'. It was followed by 'Star Wars, Episode II: Attack of the Clones' and 'Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'. In 2012, Lucas sold the rights to the 'Star Wars' franchise to Disney who announced a new, sequel trilogy. The first film, 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', was directed by J.J. Abrams and opened in theaters in 2015. The next, ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi,’ is directed by Rian Johnson and opens in the winter of 2017. The 'Star Wars' films have made over $7.5 billion at the box-office, making it one of the highest-grossing film series of all-time.

Star Wars Rebels may have come to an end, but that doesn’t mean the Ghost crew is retired. Monday’s finale very clearly suggested at least two characters would have ongoing adventures, and supervising producer Dave Filoni coyly confirms “the story continues.”

We’ve long-since forgiven Star Wars oddities like sound in space or planets with one ecosystem, but one thing never adds up: Why does everyone speak different languages to one another? SNL sought to answer exactly that with a new cut-for-time short.

The first week of Star Wars Rebels‘ final run broke our hearts, and the second broke our brains, so the series finale might shatter us entirely. See for yourself in an extended trailer for the final episode, as Thrawn looms large over Lothal and multiple familiar faces return.

The final episodes of Star Wars Rebels have already brought with them some shocking reveals, but few with such mind-boggling implications as this week’s “World Between Worlds.” Our brains are still breaking, but allow showrunner Dave Filoni to clear up some major points of [SPOI…

As Star Wars Rebels comes to a close, Disney may have tipped its hand to the next generation of Star Wars TV. Suspicious trademarks for the name Star Wars Resistance already have fans abuzz with possibilities for the new series coming to Disney streaming.
